A Perspective on Conservation Technologies for Endangered Marine Birds
Published on: 26th July, 2023
Seabirds are species in a collection of avian orders that live on and feed in saltwater and include penguins; albatrosses and petrels; gannets and cormorants; and gulls, terns, and auks. They are at risk from human activities with habitat loss, fisheries bycatch, food shortages, introduced predators and pollution impact. These effects are all exacerbated by human-induced climate change. Many researchers, non-governmental organizations, communities, and governments are working to conserve endangered seabird species by developing and implementing technologies and conservation management systems to assist seabird conservation. More recently moves are afoot to ensure organizations share data and outcomes.
Myxedema Coma and Acute Respiratory Failure in a Young Child: A Case Report
Published on: 26th July, 2023
Background: Myxedema is an extreme manifestation seen in patients with untreated hypothyroidism. It is a lethal endocrine emergency, which arises when a precipitating cause overwhelms the compensatory mechanisms of the hypothyroid state.Objectives: This case report aims to present a case of myxedema coma secondary to cretinism. It also aims to discuss how hypothyroidism leads to hypoventilation and eventually respiratory failure, as well as to discuss the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestation, diagnosis, and management of a child with myxedema coma.Case presentation: This is a case of a 7-year-old female, diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism at 5 months of age, but eventually was lost to follow-up. She came back after 7 years presenting with difficulty of breathing. She was seen hypothermic, obtunded, and in severe respiratory distress. She was severely stunted and underweight with coarse facial features. Initial laboratory work-up showed elevated Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) as well as decreased tri-iodothyronine (FT3) and thyroxine (FT4). She was immediately started on levothyroxine, with noted resolution of the edema and improvement in sensorium. There was also noted improvement in the patient’s ventilation and was sent home on Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) while asleep.Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of having a high index of suspicion of its clinical manifestations, which could lead to earlier intervention thereby preventing further complications. A multidimensional approach is essential in managing this case, as various organ systems are involved in this condition.
